£26k legal fight to keep babies

Couple Stephen and Marc longed to be dads. When a kind-hearted surrogate agreed to help their dreams come true, they had no idea the road to parenthood would be paved with horror - and a £26,000 legal fight.

I placed the couple’s shocking story in the UK’s best selling women’s magazine, Take a Break, as well as the Sunday Mirror. The couple are part of a growing campaign to give intended parents in the UK legal rights during surrogacy, much like the US where contracts are legally binding.
